Data Storage Reduced To 3 Months: HK Academics Promise to Stand Their Ground In Representing Public Opinion
The Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute (#HKPORI) was investigated by the Hong Kong police force in early 2021 because of its involvement in the democratic primary election case.
Dr. Robert Chung Ting-yiu, President and Chief Executive Officer at the HKPORI, said on April 1, 2021 that he would continue to uphold the spirit of science and democracy in conducting opinion polls.
With concern for the privacy of the respondents, he decided to shorten the storage period of the research data from 6 months to 3 months.
Chung said that even though the environment in Hong Kong is getting harsher HKPORI will hold fast to their post, "If we were to give up, it would be like asking the Hong Kong people to give up.”
Dr. Chung Kim Wah, Deputy executive director of the HKPORI, expressed that the research institute will continue to uphold the scientific spirit, while sparing no efforts in handling online opinions and constructive criticism. He also said that he used to have hope for the "one country, two systems" when he was in university, and never thought Hong Kong would become what it is today, “If people in power abuse the law, they may even accuse those who participate in international public opinion research organization of colluding with foreign forces.”
He also reminded the Hong Kong people to “Stand fast to your own post and face the situation openly”. He emphasized that HKPORI will continue to work with different organizations to represent the public’s view and opinion on social policies, “so as not to bring the civil society to its knees”.
